Everett Transit to donate 3 paratransit vans

EVERETT, Wash. — Three Everett Transit paratransit vans will soon be donated to local organizations that give rides to people in Snohomish County, according to The Herald.

Criteria in the competitive application process include showing a demonstrated need, explaining how rides are currently handled, and estimating the number of annual trips a van would provide. For the full story, click here.

The small-scale pilot with Baidu USA will cover a few short routes in the Los Angeles area, which are still being determined based on analysis of the 45 fixed routes that Access Services oversees in the area.

In this cycle of grants, SANDAG awarded a total of approximately $7 million through its Specialized Transportation Program — which includes the TransNet Senior Mini-Grant and Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 programs.
